This is very different for me; I am usually never met at 7:26 A.M. I cannot remember the last time I woke up this early for anything. But, I am truly blessed to be up this morning on another great day. Driving back from Oakland this morning down 580 looking or even gazing at the clouds above us was a sight that showed me how beautiful the world is and how thankful we all should be to be alive. We rape and ravish the Earth stripping it of its natural resources and destroying its atmosphere to not realizing that one day that the Earth will not be habitable. It's to the point now where I was reading that living on a new planet might be the alternative because man has fucked up this planet so much that it won't be habitable pretty soon. The accounts that I read of things that may seem unbelievable or even not viable such as this subject of a huge human movement to space should be taken more literally. The unimaginable or even impossible is very much possible.

So...I downloaded this album last week, and I finally got around to listening to it Friday. (Yeah, yeah, yeah...illegal, so what!) The very first time I heard anything about Brother Ali was on a song called "Cats Van Bags" on Atmosphere's "Seven's Travels" album. I was instantly interested into getting one of his albums, but I didn't get one until recently.

This album is decent. Brother Ali is a lyricist that can basically spit lyrics in the most profound and conscious ways, but overall, I wasn't blown away by this album. I am a music enthusiast (especially when it comes to underground hip hop and rock), therefore I wasn't too impressed with the album. Not to say take anything away from Brother Ali as an artist; it's just that this album was good, but not great. Songs such as "Faheem" and "Pedigree" were great attributes of Ali's musical work that helped to change somewhat of my perception of this album. More or less, he is a great emcee, but he seems much greater of an artist to feature on someone else's music rather than his own solo project.

This album has 14 songs, and even though I wasn't too blown away by the lyrical content or instrumental beats I would recommend "The Undisputed Truth" to any person looking to gain more of an underground taste to their music library.

Overall grade- 7.8
